Greetings,

I hope this is the right place for this question and I bet it is a repeat.

I have Ubuntu 8.10 running on a Shuttle motherboard SN68SG2 with an AMD 5800+ Dual Core 3.0GHz and 4GB of RAM. This mother board has an integrated onboard video card the NVIDIA GeForce 7 Series. I have added the ATI Radeon 4650 which has dual DVI ports.

Now the issue I would like to install a smaller monitor on the onboard video card via SVGA connection and add 2 larger monitors to the ATI card using the DVI connectors.

I have found several articles with instructions on configuring dual heads from the same video card but have not found how to configure both cards and 3 monitors.

Could someone lead me to an article that might explain this type of configuration.

I can get each card and monitor to work separately but not together.

Any support or guidance appreciated.

Thanks in advance,
Kulmacet
